"Time After Time (Annelise)"
[Verse 1]
Ask the girl of the hour
By the water tower's watch
If your friends took a fall
Are you obligated to follow?

[Chorus]
Time after time after time

[Verse 2]
If you're tired and you've tried
You can find me in my room
And stay if you want
But the third time you can't lose

[Chorus]
Time after time after time
Time after time after time

[Verse 3]
If he pulls on his hooves
Will you gather friends by the tower?
If you try to refuse
Will they judge your worth by the hour?

[Chorus]
Time after time after time
Time after time after time

"Red Rain"
[Chorus]
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me

[Bridge]
I come to you, defenses down
With the trust of a child

"So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)"
[Verse 1]
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river, there is a girl without a dream

[Chorus]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

[Verse 2]
Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his house upon the rocks
I'm not bound to follow suit
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the mountains is a boy without a dream

[Chorus]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

[Verse 3]
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away
The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed
Go buy yourself another dream, this choice wasn't mine

[Chorus]
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

[Bridge]
I would swim the ocean deep
Climb the highest mountain peak

"Red Rain"
I come to you
Defenses down
With the trust of a child

"So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)"
[Outro]
Hoooooo
Hoooooo
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm

Goodbye, thank you

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
